Deftones

Deftones are a multi-platinum selling, Grammy award winning hard rock band from Sacramento, California. Personnel are Chino Moreno (vocals, guitar), Stephen Carpenter (guitar), Abe Cunningham (drums), Chi Cheng (bass) and turntablist/keyboardist/sampler player Frank Delgado. (Incidentally, Carpenter is generally credited with "strings", though if he actually plays anything other than electric guitar it's not immediately apparent.)

As of 2005

The band has a new album in the works, scheduled for release in spring of 2006; Saturday Night Wrist is a possible title for the album. Early track titles include "Guns Dont Kill Buffalo, Abe Kills Buffalo" and "Diamond."

Rather than work with longtime producer Terry Date, Deftones decided to record with Bob Ezrin. Cunningham says that while the group enjoyed working with Date, "At this point, we just needed to change things up ... And this is definitely a different style. Working with him (Ezrin) is just putting us fucking upside down. He's cracking the whip."http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/_/id/6821924/deftones?pageid=rs.Artistcage&pageregion=triple3 (The band has since chosen not to go with Ezrin's production of their work.)
